    nancy’s headshots

    I first met Nancy a few years ago at the Education Foundation Gala- Dancing with the Teachers where she was a great “volunteer” dancer. She’s also a teacher in Timmy’s school so I’ve come to know her better over the past 2.5 years. She’s a really sweet lady and looked so pretty for our brief yet busy session together at her home. We lucked out with the weather- it was supposed to rain but didn’t and the cold wasn’t so terribly cold. She needed some headshots for a personal project she’s working on, so we did a few different looks. I love the ones in the kitchen the best- she looks so comfortable and at ease.

    a little sun & beach

    Looking out my office window it’s snowing hard today. All the more reason to post up some beach & sun pictures from our recent Florida vacation. Woke up early one day to get them all out for a sunrise session on the beach. So worth it! (and don’t hate. I’m in the snow and freezing with the rest of you now).Patrick.Jack.Yup, there really is a height discrepancy between them now.Timmy.

    sparkly snow

    In all of the snow’s I’ve ever seen (and unfortunately there have been a good number of those. I’m definitely a summer girl.) I don’t think I’ve ever seen such sparkly, glittery snow. It was soooo pretty. I ran outside (read: bundled up in about 15 layers and walked reeeeeeally carefully so as not to slip and break the camera) for a few minutes in the freezing cold (it’s 18 degrees here tonight, and it feels about 10 with wind chill. Ya know, as an added bonus.) to get some glittery snow shots. Edited these MUCH differently than I ever would any people pictures, but they were fun to play around with.

    Trying to keep to my mental resolution to shoot more for myself this year.

    Almost a little creepy.

    See, totally glittery & sparkly. Love the curve on this one.A little pink snow.Can you find the snowflake on the top? So cool!

    ali’s beach birthday

    Yeah, so this was like July. I’m aware how lame it is that I am this far behind in editing and posting personal pictures. Ali, an excellent bsquared assistant and babysitter celebrated her 21st birthday this past summer at the Ocean Club with lots of familiar faces. For my photografriends out there, all pictures taken with the Fuji x100. Gotta use that camera more often.

    I just did their newborn baby boy’s shoot this past weekend…They now own my puppy…You’ll recognize them from their newborn and holiday shoots…Grandparents…Celebrating the birthday girl. Moonrise/sunset.
    Stay tuned for lots ore summer pictures. And fall. And maybe even Spring. Well, at least the pictures remind us that it won’t always be below 20 degrees in New York.

    outtakes & rolls

    I posted on my bsqured Facebook page a few days ago asking what you’d like to see on the blog while it’s slow with sessions during the winter months. Two people said outtakes- so here you go. A few from some weddings last year that Kate & I shot together.

    For those of you who don’t know the roll story, catch up on that nonsense here. I was a mess after a long day of shooting, including on a very windy beach.

    Uch, its so hot.Yup, I really do love my job that much!
